Each box comes with an exclusive badge and pin. Red Skull and Green Goblin, so we’re off to a good start.

Marvel Villains Tshirt (Retail $10?) – I was pleasantly surprised with this shirt. It’s full of well-known villains, in a fun, design, and on a gray shirt. Anytime I get a shirt other than black, I’m happy. And this is a nice, soft shirt that feels better quality than past boxes.

Venom Funko POP! Keychain (Retail $9.45) – Here’s the first thing that I probably won’t keep. While I like Venom as a villain (and sometimes hero), I don’t need I’m not one to collect ugly villain characters. My collection is getting quite large already.

Exclusive Zombie Morbius Funko POP! (Retail $24.99+) – While I collect Funko POPs, I doubt I’ll display this one either. This was my biggest disappointment – the choice of POP this month.

Exclusive Loki Dorbz (Retail $15.00) – I really was hoping for a Loki POP, as I actually don’t own one yet. But a Dorbz is better than nothing. I only have a few of these.

Summary: As someone who was leery about this box, due to the Villains theme – I was pleasantly surprised with the shirt and Loki. At least the value is still here if I sell the POP and keychain. I’m still glad I didn’t skip this month.

The next Marvel Collector Corps box theme will be Guardians of the Galaxy. To say I’m completely giddy with excited would be an understatement.

For quite a while, Groupon has offered a Marvel Comics Mystery Box with a guaranteed shirt, tumbler, and 25 comics for $39. I waited until it decreased or found a coupon, and snagged it for $10 off. Since there were no reviews on the site, I didn’t want to pay full price. I have since posted a review, though it’s still pending as of the time I write this.

The Shirt: Spider-Gwen – (Retail $10?) Sorry, this is a terrible photo. The color is actually a really nice midnight blue, not black. I’ll actually wear this. I especially appreciated that it was a female superhero. There weren’t women’s sizes, only men’s, just FYI.

The Comics: Wow, this was a great selection! There is a great variety here from various years. There are even a few I’ve never heard of, which is nice. I can’t wait to dig into these.

Summary: At $20 for the shirt and glass, and $10 for the comics – this was a great deal. I wouldn’t spend more than $30, just because you don’t know what comics you’ll get. If I can find another decent coupon, or if the price drops, I’d definitely purchase this again!

LootCrate is $13.95 plus $6 shipping and handling for month-to-month subscription. Less for multiple month purchases. They also now offer “Level Up,” 3 apparel upgrades at different pricing levels that you can add to your monthly subscription.

This month’s theme was Out of Time!

EXCLUSIVE Dr Emmett Brown Funko POP! (selling for $28.00+ on Amazon) – I didn’t have a Doc Brown POP yet, tho I do have the Marty in a Delorian. So, I was super excited to see this guy. The standard, non-Loot Crate version with a remote control is $17.95 on Amazon. This version has his goggles on and holding jumper cables.

Hover Board Replica (Retail $25+ on Amazon) – This is really cute, tho I’m not sure where to display it. But I won’t say “no” to any Back to the Future item.

Dr Who Sonic Spork (Retail $14.98 on Amazon) – I don’t care for Dr Who, so this will be the one thing I won’t be keeping.

And each LootCrate comes with an exclusive pin. This one is the Flux Capacitor!

Be Excellent To Each Other Tshirt (Retail $10?) – I LOVE this shirt! Unfortunately, their “Womens” sizes are actually Juniors. Fair warning – get a size or 2 larger. Thankfully, it’s a thinner shirt that I can probably stretch out.

Another great thing about Loot Crate – you even want to keep the box!

Summary: This month more than made up for the miss with August’s box. I’m keeping everything but one item, which is great. If next month is just as good, I may have to keep up my subscription.

Here’s a new mystery box for you science and science fiction lovers! The first box will ship at the end of the month, so I don’t have a review for you yet. But if you want to get in on the ground floor, I have a coupon code for 10% off! Use code: Chick10
You may want to hurry though, as the first box closes on October 29th.

The Essential Pod ($29.99 plus shipping, handling and tax) contains science and sci-fi items that would be great to have if stranded on Mars.

The Deluxe Pod ($39.99 plus shipping, handling and tax) contains all the items in the Essential Pod plus a paperback version of The Martian by Andy Weir, currently No. 1 on the New York Times Best Sellers list.

In addition, 50 Deluxe Pod customers could receive an autographed copy of The Martian.

Geek Fuel is a monthly subscription box “filled with t-shirts, toys, digital games, limited edition collectibles, and all things epic.” The box can be purchased on a monthly renewal at $23.90 per month, or discounts for purchasing several months or more upfront.

The box comes with a great mini magazine that’s always fun to flip through.

Here’s a look at the contents of this month’s box.

Exclusive Video Games Live T-shirt (Retail $10?) – As I’ve said before, I’m not a fan of games – so this (while a cute design) is a bust for me.

It’s a Nap! Pillowcase (Retail $15 on Etsy) – This is a really fun item for any Star Wars fan. It’d make a great gift too.

Guardianade Energy Drink (Retail $?) – As I don’t know games, the theme is lost on me. But it’s a fun design, and something I’ll probably use some weekend – maybe while watching a marathon of movies. See the image below for the clever disclaimer on the can.

Delorean Time Travel Sticker (Retail $1-2?) – Everyone is jumping on the Back to the Future anniversary – and I couldn’t be happier. I’m definitely going to find a place for this. The box also came with a movie replica Save the Clock Tower flyer that has a phone number on the back to see if you’re one of 88 winners. I wasn’t. But it was certainly a fun idea. And it also comes with a Save the Clock Tower Button – just to get you in the mood.

Guardianade Disclaimer

Yondu Funko POP (Retail $7.50) – Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite Marvel movie, and I don’t have this one yet! This was my favorite item by far. Too bad it couldn’t be an exclusive, but I’m happy anyway.

Summary:Guardians POP, Back to the Future, and Star Wars items all in one box – this makes up for the lack of keep-able items in the last two boxes. I may take a break for a while from this box, but this made my day.

This box was sent to SciFiChick.com for review.

September’s box that was sent to me for review purposes was the Deluxe box.

Call of Duty T-shirt (Retail $10?) – I’m not a gamer, so this shirt is a miss for me, but I do like the design.

Superman Crew Socks (Retail $8.65 on Amazon) – These are large, crew socks and seemingly well-made. These don’t seem to fit the gaming/pixel theme, but are probably my favorite thing in the box this month.

MugBoy GameBoy Coaster (Retail $?) – I couldn’t find this listed on Amazon. But it’s a large, rubber coaster. At first, I thought it was a large magnet by the weight and feel. It’s a clever, cute design, looking like a retro GameBoy. However, I’d recommend only wide cups or mugs used on this, as there is a bit of texture to it.

Twisted Lip Pops (Retail $5?) – This is filler, but my niece is a candy fiend and will love it.

Nintendo Keychain (Retail $8.53) – Again, fans of classic gaming will may enjoy this large, rubber Nintendo key chain, made to look like an old controller. See, even though I never played as a teen, I recognize this stuff!

Summary: While the theme was a bust for me, as I’m not (nor ever have been) into gaming, the value is definitely here for the right audience. I look forward to seeing what this new branding may bring. I’m hoping for a more definitive theme, and one that’s announced on the updated website each month.

The box comes with a nice card that gives details on each of the selections.
This month’s theme was FIGHT THE FIGHT and included the following titles:

Superman Batman: Vengeance (Retail $12.99) – I already had the first and second volume of this series, so this was a win for me! I loved this series when it started. I just got distracted and forgot about it after a while. I’m happy to get back into it though.

Daredevil Season One (Retail $24.99) – I just started collecting these Season One editions, so I was happy to see this. It’s also a hardback, which adds more value to the box. I don’t think I have any standalone Daredevil books.

X-O Manowar Enter: Ninjak (Retail $14.99) – Here’s a series that’s new-to-me. It has good reviews on Amazon, so I’m excited to try it.

Executive Assistant Iris Volume 1 (Retail $18.99) – This is another new one for me, not being mainstream DC or Marvel. But a strong, female lead – I’m willing to give it a go.

Summary: This is probably my favorite subscription box. I could only love it more if it was weekly instead of monthly. I love that it introduces me to new series and offers older books. I already buy newer graphic novels, so there’d be more likely of an overlap that way. And the value in the box always greatly exceeds the price. So, I highly recommend this sub to comic lovers and new comic readers.

“My Geeky Goodies is a monthly surprise package delivered straight to your door filled with geeky and nerdy apparel, toys, and collectables! Every pack of goodies will come with either a custom t-shirt (in your size) or a POP Vinyl Figure, and 4-6 other super cool items for you to get excited about!”

My Geeky Goodies is currently on a monthly sub hiatus. However, they are still doing Monthly Mashups with hints give out each day they are selling. You have to buy fast, though as these do sell out. These are one-time boxes, not a subscription.

Sackboy Funko POP!(Retail $8.95 on Amazon) – I love and collect Funko toys, but I’m not a gamer – so I’ve never heard of Sockboy or Little Big Planet. So, this was a disappointment for me.

Infinity Gauntlet Keychain (Retail $7.36 – originally $9.99) – Move over Thanos, I have the power now. This (pewter) keychain is HEAVY, so I wont be using it on my regular batch of keys. But if there’s a key I don’t use daily, that I don’t want to lose – this is the keychain to use! Or it’ll probably just go on my shelf of fun Marvel props.
